The lining of the boot is cut small and it separates from the boot when you try to take the boot off.

I got these boots, tried them on and absolutely loved them. These are replacement boots I needed for snowmobiling. I can't wait to try them in the cold snowy weather however I've already verified they're good for shoveling : )

This purchase was to replace a 20 year old pair of lighter weight Sorel Caribou boots that finally wore out. That older pair were rated for about 20 F. If this newer pair preform similarly or better, I won't need another pair for as long as I live. I'm 61 now!.
I used them for the first time last week and was very pleased with them. I found that very heavy wool socks are not necessarily needed. Lighter weight wool socks are a good companion.

I needed a good pair of boots for working outside in Wisconsin winters. These are just what I needed! My shoe size is 7.5 or 8 depending on the manufacturer and style, and I ordered size 8 boots. I've been wearing them with sock liners plus relatively thin wool socks. My thickest socks make the boots too tight, but I haven't needed thick socks to stay warm. These boots are heavy and sturdy, so don't expect flexibility. I am very happy with these boots.

This was a great boot. I ordered a half size up and had plenty of room and the boot wasn't tight which is the fit that I was hoping for. It's suppose to snow tomorrow. Can't wait to try them out. Highly recommend.

These boots are excellent. I first tried on the right boot and it fit perfectly so I thought that there wasn't a need to try on the left boot. A few days later, I tried the left boot and had difficulty getting my foot all the way to the bottom. However, a 2nd attempt worked just fine as I found that the felt insert wasn't completely down when I first tried them. I love the features, appearance, color choices and quality of these boots. They are well worth the price.

The boots fit slightly larger than other Sorel boots that are more street/fashion in style, but are still very comfortable and warm.

Well as luck would have it as soon as my boots arrived, the weather broke and it warmed up however there were a few days where the temps dipped and I've never so warm and comfortable in a pair of boots. They also look great. I've already recommended them to friends and family.

I asked for boots which I could wear ice fishing and stay warm in. I have not done that yet but have worn them outdoors when the "polar vortex" has made the weather here in Pittsburgh bitterly cold. I have stayed warm and find the boots very comfortable to walk in. As to the size, I am normally an 11 with wide feet and I have found the 11!/2, which I had to order online to be a good fit. I have gone to stores and tried on the 11 (too tight) and the 12 (too loose). I am hopeful that the boots will be as durable as they are comfortable.

I use these all the time. I built a racecourse at Beaver Creek this season and these are the only thing I wear outside of work. I've tried lots of boots from sorel and these ones are a no brainer. I use much heavier boots for work but these guys are warm and comfy when the day is done.

This is my first Chicago winter and these boots are the best decision I have made.
My feet can range from an 8-9; I went for the 8 boot and they are perfect. A little heavy when walking, but most boots are anyway. They keep my feet pretty warm and very dry.

my new sorels are built extremely well, look like they'll last forever, are tremendously warm (i haven't tried them at 40 below yet, as it's only been 20 above recently), work well in both city and in field, and look incredibly cool. they felt right the very first moment that i put them on, but actually walking in them takes a bit of getting used to (on my first day i walked 4 miles though, and had no problem whatsoever). they're even good on ice, which is the main reason that i bought them. i'm extremely happy with my purchase of this trusted brand of boots.

My 20 year old Sorel Caribou's are my 'go to' boot in winter. I wear them snowshoeing, winter camping and hiking in winter, grocery shopping in challenging weather. Easy to slip into, wear wonderful wool socks with them - my orthotics work as well. Walking the dog boots! I have used the Yak-Tracks with them during icy situations as well. Please keep them coming and please don't cheapen them like so typically happens with excellent products. They are the best! Can't believe it I paid less than half for them originally.
I'd also recommend:
Smartwool Socks, or Home grown and knitted ALPACA SOCKS! Let's find some ALPACA SOCKS

I have had the opportunity to use these boots in -20 temps and -40 below with windchill and my feet have been warm and dry. I would recommend these to a friend! Plus, I know Sorel's last a long time in these conditions. I have no doubt I will be ordering more styles to get through these MN winters :)

So excited to receive these today! I was a little nervous on the sizing due to various reviews about the fit. I have read reviews that said to go a full size down, and others that somehow said they needed to go a full size up, so I was very confused as to what to do. I wear an 8.5 shoe and I ordered an 8 and they fit very well! I actually expected them to fit a bit more awkward based on the mixed reviews but they are so comfy and warm. I will mention that it does in fact seem like these boots run big and I definitely recommend ordering a half size down from your normal size. I still have some room in these (maybe due to my very narrow feet) but they aren't too big to where they are uncomfortable. It gives you the welcome option to layer up some socks on super cold days. I don't wanna jinx it...but now I'm ready for another Michigan snowstorm.

I love these Sorel boots! They are more stylish in black and white than they used to be. The tread on the bottom is very good in the snow and ice. They are warm and comfortable to boot! I highly recommend them.

The Sorel's are beyond the expectations of keeping the feet dry, warm and comfortable and are everything advertised to be. It is important to purchase the true size required for the comfort of walking and stability in weather conditions.

Your boots are excellent quality, warm in the winter and durable. I replaced a pair that I only wear in the snow and they lasted (27) years! (Do you think that I got my money's worth?)

20 years ago, I borrowed a pair of boots like this and since, have tried to find this exact pair. I don't know why, but I could never seem to find them, or when I did, they didn't have my size. However, on Christmas Day 2013, my beautiful wife--the love of my life relinquished this title by giving me these boots as a gift. I cried on Christmas Day because I was so happy to finally get the boots of my dreams. I am still waiting to wake up from this dream. A big snowstorm is expected to arrive tomorrow, so you can bet your sweet hiney I am going to be wearing the boots!
That was just a long way of saying, I LOVE these boots. They fit perfectly, they are warm, and I believe that without a doubt, they will always handle the snow and ice with complete ease.
I like to wear thick socks and these boots allow a perfect fit for such a thing. They are stiff, yet pliable that I can walk without looking like a robot. Giving me full confidence that their support will ever be unwavering.
Within reason, the rubber bottom grips ice and light snow very well. While caution is always required on such kind of footing, I found complete trust that I wouldn't be met with any surprising slips, or stumbles (unless I purposely or irresponsibly do so). The lacing is perfectly spaced up to the bottom of my calves, keeping me warm and comfortable.
I can't sing enough praises, these are most certainly the PERFECT pair of boots I've ever had. And I have gone through a lot of them. Plus, I truly believe I will never need to get a new pair for as long as I live in a cold, snowy climate.

I bought these for my 17 year old daughter and have borrowed them when I had to spend hours standing outside in 10 degree weather. My feet never got cold. They are somewhat clunky but serve the purpose of warmth and kept my feet dry.
I am a 5.5 and my daughter a size 6. I purchased them in a 5.5 and they fit my daughter perfectly.
Quality seems sturdy. We haven't owned them long enough to fairly comment on how they will hold up.
